I love Lucas, and I love seeing him outside of the Lumi/Sami bubble. He's always been an interesting character to me on his own merit. I love him interacting with the Hortons (Maggie, Hope, Julie and Doug), Kate, and the Kiriakises (and Victor who as someone pointed out was Lucas' sole father figure for many years) like his brother Phillip and also Justin. I'd love to see him Anne snarking at the Hospital as she deplores him being a part of the Horton Foundation through what she'd term nepotism. He should be involved in the corporate espionage story, scheming with Kate and taking advantage EJ's distraction with Sami and the DE takeover to get the goods on EJ. Just so much for Lucas to do and be involved in on this show, besides being one of Sami's reserves.
